We will certainly proceed our step-by-step strategy to detecting a swimming pool heating unit by taking a look at what to do when the light in the control pad on the best of your Sta-Rite pool and also health spa heating unit that is identified “solution heating system” is lit. (We will certainly find out more proceed with the assumption that you understand every little thing from section one.) This time around you will need to get rid of the sides from the heater just before detaching power to the heater so that you could review the codes on the board affixed to the topside. After taking out the sides, you will view the large topside that is still linked to the heater. Below the topside is a metal panel that keeps the topside in place. Under this panel there are two securing pins (cotter pins). Carefully get rid of both pins and store them someplace protected up until reassembly. Gently eliminate the top and also turn it inverted. You will see a light lit on the board you are looking at when you transform the topside over. The light will certainly be beside a code that is created on the board.

The very first code that you'll view on the left side of the board will certainly be PS. This is the code for the tension switch. We covered the tension switch in segment one. If this light is lit go back to section one and examine that sector. If required comply with the guidelines to replace the tension button.

The next code you'll see on the board is HLS. If you have a controller on the device you will certainly should bypass it currently. You will certainly have to meticulously disconnect the power from the heater. After you make sure that the power is disconnected, you will should discover as well as open the high-voltage cabinet. This cupboard is a steel box in the center of the heating unit. If you are considering the cupboard, there is often a screw on the great best side. Loosen the screw and also the door will turn down towards you. You need to be incredibly careful when operating in this box and simply do so when you make sure that the power to the heater is OFF.

You will certainly need to bypass the firewall program safety user interface. To do this you will certainly require a brief cord with stab-tab ports. If you have a controller and it was effectively set up the wire may have been left in the box by the tech which mounted the controller. Otherwise you will need to make this jumper cable. At this factor look in your proprietor's guidebook to situate both correct pins to attach to. If you have a controller or are utilizing a fire fighter's switch this is where your command must be linked. If you have a controller as well as it is not connected below, it could be the source of your issues as well as either have an accredited tech fix the problem or fix it on your own.

You need to be careful not to place the jumper cable on the power terminals or you will certainly damage your heating unit by burning up the digital technology. Use your handbook to locate where the fireman's button is supposed to be affixed and thoroughly affix your jumper in between these terminals. If you now turn on the power and the heating system works with no problems, your issue depends on the controller or the electrical wiring visiting the controller. You will have to trouble shoot this system.

If you still have the same issue with your heater. (“service heating unit” light comes on), leave the jumper in position and also validate that the pump is on and that you have good water circulation. Make certain once again with your meter that the pressure button is not cycling. It must read as a dead short. (View segment one) With great water flow confirmed as well as the “solution heater” light on, your problem might be one of the thermo-regulators in the security system.

Given that we began this with the sign light on the board lit next to HLS, the initial thing we are visiting examine are the wires visiting the high limit switch. The higher limitation switch is found near all-time low on the left side of the water manifold as you admit. To see it you need to eliminate the side cover on the water manifold. The screw that holds the cover is on the top of it. You have to see to it that the orange cables going to the button are in one piece, connected and not rusty. If the circuitry excels, utilize your multi-meter to inspect that the higher restriction button checks out as a dead short. If it reviews open and the water is not over 104 F, replace the higher limitation button. If this does not fix your issue you might have a bad control board as well as it will certainly need to be switched out. Screening the control panel is a quite involved procedure as well as will be managed in a later sector.

This is the end of sector 2 and has taken you via component of the safety circuit in the heating unit and 2 of the indicator lights on the board. We will certainly advance with our methodical diagnose of problems on the Sta-Rite pool as well as medspa heating unit in the following sector.
